Vasari claimed that this artist neglected his classical studies in favor of watching the Gondi Chapel being frescoed. Dante compared Oderisi Da Grubbio to this artist who once "held the field." One work by this artist shows two crowds of people flanking a crucifix; that work is now almost entirely blackened. This artist painted another crucifixion with small icons for the Basilica of Santa Croce; that work was badly damaged in the 1966 Arno flood. This artist painted a seated Madonna and Child flanked by four angels on each side, the Santa Trinita Madonna, technically surpassed by the Ognissanti Madonna, with which it now shares a room in the Uffizi. The comparison dramatizes Vasari's observation that this artist was "overshadowed by a greater light," namely, his most famous student. For ten points, name this artist who is thought to have taught Giotto.
